Chicago restaurants!

[David Powelstock]

Please not to forget:

Little Bucharest
(773) 929-8640
3001 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60657 

The owner (Branko) is actually a Serb; his wife, who does the cooking, is
Romanian. On the Serbian side, if you are lucky Branko will whip out the
homemade slivovice, served from surgical tubing. If you are really lucky you
can stand on the bar and smash some plates with Branko. Oh yes, there is
usually a wonderfully cheesy accordion player, the kind who embarrasses you
by coming over to your table. It's quite entertaining, if you're in the
right mood.

(This just in: it may be the case that the entire operation has been moved
to 3661 N. Elston Ave, (773)-604-8500. The same guy used to run two places,
the other called Continental Cafe, but this website seems to suggest that
only one is now open: http://www.continental-cafe.net/. Call before you go!)

Hope to see many of you next week.

Cheers,
David Powelstock
